Quick answer
Choose the 70579 rear axle shafts if you need a durable replacement for worn drive components; pick the 07111 rear shock tower if you need to support or upgrade your Rampage XT's suspension.
Different jobs, different parts
The 70579 and 07111 serve completely separate functions on your Redcat RC. The 70579 is a set of two heavy-duty rear axle shafts that transfer power to the wheels, while the 07111 is a single-piece aluminum rear shock tower that supports the suspension on Rampage XT and legacy Rampage R5 models. Knowing which system needs attention helps you pick the correct part.
Compatibility matters
The 07111 shock tower is designed specifically for the Rampage XT and is compatible with the legacy Rampage R5. The 70579 axle shafts fit a range of compatible Redcat models but do not list a specific model in the catalog facts. If you own a Rampage XT, you could potentially need both parts, but they address different issues.
Trade-offs at a glance
- 70579 rear axle shafts: Heavy-duty construction, includes two shafts, designed for power transfer to the rear wheels. Ideal if you have broken or worn axle shafts on a compatible Redcat model.
- 07111 rear shock tower: Aluminum construction, direct fit for Rampage XT and compatible with legacy Rampage R5, single piece. Best if your Rampage XT or R5 needs a suspension tower replacement or upgrade.
- Can't decide?: If your RC has both drive and suspension issues, you may need both parts, but they are not interchangeable. Inspect which system is failing before ordering.
